    If I try to call my SO or my mother, I have less than 20% chance of an answer. I have no idea why they have cellphones.

      This is my whole family, they’re glued to their phones whenever I’m around, but if I’m at work and I need to call one of them I have to ping pong all their phone numbers until one of them picks up, and even then sometimes they don’t.

      Tbf, phone is just one app among dozens of others, and quite rarely used one, too.

    My wife has a sixth sense of knowing when I’m on the toilet.

    I can quietly go about my day, no one ever calls or wants me … enter the toilet, pull my pants down, in the process of doing my business and the phone rings. Not every time I go to the toilet … but just about every time she calls, I’m on the toilet. It’s uncanny.

    Then she gets mad at me for not answering right away or ignoring the call. I always call her back and ask her how she knows when I’m on the toilet.

      Same with my dad and sister, except she would only call if he was on a ladder or in heavy traffic or on hold, or otherwise unable to safely take a call.

        I ride motorcycle and I love that one. I have an adapter for the phone so I can keep the phone screen in front of me while I ride. I just never use it because I don’t want to operate a device while I’m on a bike, no matter how sophisticated you can make it.

        I just have it on in case of emergency.

        But I can go for long quiet rides in the country side where nothing is happening and no one will ever call.

        As soon as I’m in traffic, an intersection or somewhere busy where I need full attention … someone decides to call and I can see my screen light up.

          Holder+video call. Seeing Hanoi traffic or w/e makes people so much more appreciative of why I cant talk.

          Just make sure you’ve got a good phone protector and really wrench that thing tight.

    My girlfriend constantly complains I never call her. But when I do in fact call her she has her phone on silent or don’t disturb or not on her.

    • But you never call me because you just wanna talk a little.
    • I do but you never fucking answer.

    I thank the heavens my family is the opposite. If I call, they answer unless they actively can’t (work, driving, emergency) and even then they’ll text a quick ‘busy’ then call after!

    I hate that we have turned into this as a society.

    I literally can’t take a shit in peace because my wife is blowing up my phone. Like GFD give me 5 minutes to wipe my ass and I’ll call you back!

      I literally dont text chat with anyone because everyone treats them as forever chats. Like we need to learn how to say bye to each other again or something, see you later.
